Lindsey in Running Fed Chairman

The Wall Street Journal reports that the White House is also considering Lawrence Lindsey to replace Alan Greenspan as chairman of the Federal Reserve. For several months, it was assumed that the three major candidates were Martin Feldstein, Glenn Hubbard and Ben Bernanke.

Who’s the frontrunner? I like to watch the numbers at TradeSports, which let’s users buy “futures” on real world events. According to their market, Bernanke is in the lead at 38%. Feldstein is second at 28%, and Lindsey is third at 20% (up 2% today).
